I agree with Spunky. And this poor woman sounds like so many people who unrealistically expect the giddy feelings and romance of young relationships to last forever. She's like most folks today I'm afraid.

GBU,

..a very good picture of how a relationship often ends.

One person in the, by then toxic relationship, realizes that even an unknown future is better than the present situation.

In a perfect world both may work at it......but.....

How lovely for you that your marriage worked. What don't you get?
How awful life must be if you think that giddiness doesn't or shouldn't last forever!!

Yes, Sandy.... most of us stayed too long.

Hi Leaf: I think all friendships, relationships and marriages require the two people involved to sit down and talk about their feelings and make compromises to make it work for both people. If you don't sit and talk anymore, then you're like two robots just going through the motions. Resentments start piling up, then you start hating the other person for wrecking your life.

Both my marriages failed, so what do I know. But my parents stayed together for fifty years, and there was no love, friendship, or talking going on there, just a 50 yr. pile of resentments and fear of losing their assets and of being alone I suppose. They wasted their lives staying together.
